Shots fired in Spring Valley; no victims found

SPRING VALLEY  Deputies who investigated reports of multiple gunshots Friday night in the La Presa area of Spring Valley found shell casings, but no victims or signs that anyone had been hit, a sheriff’s official said.

The Sheriff’s Department received numerous calls about 6:20 p.m. from residents on several streets, some who thought they heard 15 to 20 shots, sheriff’s Lt. Jason Rothlein said.

The shots may have been fired in an alley area between Sacramento and Grand avenues. At least eight shell casings were found, Rothlein said.

Some callers said they heard people fighting and a vehicle speeding from the area, but no one said they actually witnessed anything, the lieutenant said.

Deputies checked and there were no reports of anyone with a gunshot wound showing up at area hospitals, Rothlein said.
